Joseph Ledoux

Diagnosing and treating anxiety disorders is complex due to the numerous brain processes that anxiety can initiate. People with these disorders experience an exaggerated sense of awareness towards potential dangers, leading their instinct for self-preservation to kick into overdrive. Additionally, anxiety represents a feeling that we consciously perceive. Therefore, an effective therapeutic approach should consider the various ways anxiety can affect our physiological and psychological states.
